Carlos, I just wanted to say thatNVDA is just fantastic! I can't believe it is free and Jaws is thousands of dollars. Anyway, I tested it out on notepad and it did exactly as you said. No more notepad troubles. Unfortunately, I didn't save any of my rtf files recorde to audio files, so I am not sure if I really have time to change the stuff over, but anything new I make will be done this way, so thanks so much, man, it's really cool, especially with this eloquence voice. The other voice was...well really harsh. al "The truth will set you free" Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. ----- Original Message ----- From: Carlos Macintosh To: ian-reeds-games@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2013 8:46 PM Subject: [ian-reeds-games] Re: starship minor update You can get NVDA from www.nvda-project.org You can get the eloquence driver from https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8252087/eq.zip First, install NVDA then download the archive. now, open the start menu, programs, NVDA, explore user configuration directory.
